Welcome! I'm Dr. Cara Sidman...
After earning my PhD in Exercise & Wellness from Arizona State University in 2002, I began a journey of career-hopping across four universities in search of the place I could call my academic home. Ironically it wasn't until several years later I realized my search for "home" was a call to search within.
​
All of this led to intense study and teaching focus on happiness and social-emotional well-being skills. After a lifetime of people-pleasing, perfectionism, and achievement orientation, and the results I continue to see in my research, teaching, and practice,, my mission is to inspire others in a transformation through innovative tools and solutions that harness the power of stories, movies, technologies, and games.
I get super excited about expanding minds and empowering lives, one experiment, one movie, one story, or one game at a time, and I want to know how I can help you!
I've seen first-hand how applying mini science-based skills in a more playful and experimental way makes all the difference in making lasting change! My self-awareness, self-regulation, insight, social-awareness, decision-making, relationship skills, courage, stress, sense of purpose, and connection have all improved, and I finally have the space for creating more joy in my life!
